Secret 3IL

20 photos

In April 2012, on the site, in the article "Armored" The Punisher "Four-mystery" already provides information on the machine. But then the lack of information necessary to speculate on available photos and layouts. And now the veil of secrecy was lifted.

On the sidelines of Likhachev automobile plant on a given machine for a long time the talk went. They said that in the design office created a machine for the special forces has magnificent design. But the details no one really was not. I had to wait and wait long enough until a car was lifted a taboo.

It should immediately be noted that the sample submitted a full vehicle suitable for operation and not a test. This way the layout, or if you want - a concept car that is designed for working in real-layout solutions, functionality, including quick landing crew has full equipment. So just need to make allowances for the fact that here the "armor" simulated plywood sheets, and replaced conventional bulletproof Plexiglas ...

However, do not like plywood intermediate sample did not work - at design time in the car laid a number of new ideas that before major construction, you need to check how this will work in practice.

In 2008, Likhachev automobile plant with funding and support of the Moscow government in the person of YM Luzhkov launched a project to develop a multi-purpose armored all-wheel drive (4x4) vehicle carrying capacity of 2, 5 tons of special units of the armed forces and law enforcement agencies (the Federal Security Service, the riot police, and so on). It was necessary to create a machine that would be as simple and technological, has a plurality of flat surfaces, which simplify the booking, but having an external form "with individual expressiveness" to highlight its purpose.

Design project of the machine, which looks a bit like the legendary ZIL-131 was proposed by Leo Samokhin. In August-October 2008, during the conceptual design study built boarding layout. This machine by linking basic units do not differ from similar designs from other manufacturers (IVECO-LMV, "Tiger" and others) and was close to the maximum production capacity of the plant. Meanwhile, the project had a "flavor" - one of the options for arranging the interior space fighters are placed facing the windows and back to back. It is easier to carry and use a circular observation arms. Soon, the idea is becoming mainstream, and subsequent versions have created around it.

In an attempt to give the car a new property there was a desire to create something new. One of the priorities - "stealth" machine tools of destruction. Therefore, the car began to put forward new requirements: a low silhouette and minimum dimensions (smaller sizes make it difficult to hit); radio transparency (the use of radio-composite materials and shielding); low noise and minimal heat (use a hybrid power plant) and so on. These ideas are directly crossed with Aviatechnology Stealth, and therefore, it was necessary to give the machine the proper shape.

At this stage, a new design project, which is carried out in the studio, "Sahakyan Design" Svyatoslav Saakyan and Andrey Chirkov. The basis of the concept lay Potekhina and overall design, which was developed by the Deputy Director of Development ZIL - Project Engineering Company Oshurkov Sergei. The layout and placement of units executed a leading design engineer Andrei Stepanov. The Administrator and the driving force behind the project became a deputy. Chief Designer Vladimir G. ZIL Mazepa.

A new project for its originality and uniqueness bribed all, even though some layout flaws. He soon became dominant. At the same time work on the car project Samokhina not abandoned, as were parallel, it started to build a chassis to the original arm independent suspension with air springs.

Project Sahakyan gave an opportunity to create highly secure machine with enhanced mine-protected, made on the principles of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP), when the case is highly elevated above ground and has a tapered bottom and antifugasnye ergonomic seats for the crew reduced the impact of the shock wave, explosion, the bottom of the wheel of a car or through the installation of the sliding sleeve with the attachment to the vertical elements of body structures. This seat has an additional function - when folding the backrests create a level cargo space for housing weapons or additional hardware. If necessary, it can be used for transportation in the supine position of wounded soldiers.

The machine is capable of carrying 11 people (driver, commander of the marines and 9). The landing in the back of the person is a hinged door. 6 seats (3) are addressed to the board and back row - ago. Before seats for landing two big open doors and tricuspid. On the sidewalls of first opening the top glazed part (shooting from the car in a position to lead convenient, both from the bunker - the side of the machine to protect the arrow, and the angle of fire increases significantly in comparison with the conventional loophole), and the lower part of the next movement, forming a gangway . The doors in the open form can be used as a footrest for placing shooters during movement of the machine. To close the lower door, pull the rope, holding it, and then snap the door into place, catching the handle.

True, they have not all worked out to the end, as the weight of door wings after booking will certainly increase, and it will not close the simple pulling of the cable. The most optimal solution suggests itself is to use a rope system having counterweights or energy accumulators in the form of springs, facilitating the process of closing the doors.

The machine with the memorable and unusual appearance is a surprisingly tech - perfectly flat body panels greatly facilitates production and booking and a decrease in the area directed perpendicular to the direction of fire panels would significantly increase the chances of survival during battle. Fearsome front part is made specifically at the request of the Federal Security Service of Russia, who first became interested in the project and asked to give such appearance, the machine is only one of its appearance prevented any attempt to resist.

Interesting and original layout of the units of the machine. All of its critical systems cleaned inside narrower frame (between the vertical spars shelf width is 800 mm, the standard "Zilovskoye" frame - 865 mm), and from exposed outside of the lack not only fuel tanks, receivers, batteries, but even steps. With this improved survivability under fire, as well as geometric cross the car when the driver can not be afraid to damage the terrain vital systems of the obstacles. The project for the implementation of the principles of stealth laid the possibility of using the hybrid drive, which planned to develop in conjunction with the SEC Bauman, and later the car was planned to equip the motor-wheels RSC "Energia". With SEC "multi-network" and the Moscow Institute of Electronic Technology studied the possibility of using multimeksnoy electrical system.

When creating armored vehicles traditionally intractable issue is weight. Heavy steel armor sometimes reduces the load to almost nothing. Experts ZIL, given the relatively small permissible mass produced car (8000 kg), during the development of conceptual design we were looking for an alternative to steel armor. As a result, in October 2008, contacts were established with ZAO "Fort Technology" SPC FSB, which allowed to start exploration work on new methods to protect vehicles.

In May and September 2009 with the participation of "Fort Technology" built chassis layout with an eye on the booking class 6a (GOST R50744-95) using state of the art composite armor (ceramics, plus highly oriented polyethylene at UD). This armor is established at the Institute of Plastics named Petrov.

Chassis layout took the most modern units: Cummips four-cylinder engine, gearbox, razdatka ZF, «KAMAZ 'drive axles, as bridges" ZIL "on the track did not fit. In the future, we planned to apply "Zilovskoye" bridges to gauge extended to 2,100 millimeters.
September 28, 2009, immediately after the construction, the chassis layout shown to customers, the Moscow government (initially initiator of the project is the Moscow government) and Luzhkov, who came specially for the occasion at the plant.

Even at the stage of conceptual design to prototypes expressed interest in one of the offices of the FSB anti-terrorism. Plant demonstrations twice the prototype of which was attended by soldiers of the unit in full gear. It scores for accommodation in, actions in the operational environment, as well as the landing speed. Both times, the car has received a positive assessment as to their tactical and technical characteristics it was head and shoulders above similar foreign and domestic designs.

However, the first sample questions remained. In particular, forward visibility through the windshield, with a strong inclination proved far from ideal. Although the review and meet the requirements of the guests, but remained far from ideal.

Over time, the project is a special armored vehicle for workers ZIL became perhaps the main target in terms of employment engineers, designers and all of the pilot plant. The sample in October 2009 showed the first deputy defense minister - the chief weapons Popovkin VD, as well as the commander of the military unit 93603 of morphine. October 27, 2009 at the plant by the Russian Defense Ministry received GABTU TTZ to develop those. the project on "Family Car of the new generation of tactical-class lifting capacity of 2000 kg." According to the assignment includes the development of two running prototypes: one with 4x4, GVW of 8,000 kg and a dependent suspension (ZIL-3901S2 conditionally sample №2): the second with a total weight of 7000 kg with independent suspension (ZIL-Z901SZ, sample №3 ). Both vehicles must have bonneted layout and transport crew 1 + 9 people. According to the Russian Defense Ministry leadership GABTU, after the construction of the samples №№2 & B will consider funding further development of this theme.

In accordance with the decision for 2010 in UKER ZIL was conducted to develop new models. Currently, we completed the construction of the chassis for the sample №2 and 50 percent of the new body built design. The new body preserved the basic ideas of the first sample, in particular the entrance stairs. The project №Z almost entirely manufactured chassis with independent suspension with air springs are very useful achievements of Lev Samokhina.

In the summer of 2012 to the first goal machine "Fort Technology" and ZIL received a patent for an industrial design by registering an innovative design, which is based on the simultaneous study of the concept of the crew accommodation, mine protection in other design and technological solutions.
